The Beetle Bar and Grill

Divey bar/neighborhood spot. Food is not good, used to be better! Outdoor patio is nice for drinks and service was very friendly ;)

Okay, I came here on a whim with some friends on a Sunday and I loved it! Their menu is very enticing! I split food with a friend: Figgy Stardust burger (with a turkey burger) and Fish and Chips (on special). It was one of the best fish and chips that I've had outside of Europe. The burger was savory and sweet. The fries were cooked perfectly, cripsy crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.I can't speak to drinks, but I can speak to food. I loved what I had and I look forward to coming back. Also, shoutout to the Sunday bartender because he was working alone for a portion of my time there and he was still tending to all guests at the bar and in the dining room.

Nice place in Ukrainian Village with a cool vibe and laid back atmosphere. Went for drinks and apps and enjoyed the DJ. Has a lot of historic character inside, staff was friendly.

Our favorite neighborhood dive bar. Have been consistently coming here for over 2 years and it never disappoints. No frills, cute patio, kitchen is open late and service is always friendly!

We love this place and I am so happy it is still in business after all the difficulties with COVID!The food is surprisingly good and definitely better than regular "bar" food. My FAV is the poutine!!! But the pizza is also delicious. The drinks are also good and reasonably priced!It does get a bit loud on weekends nights but otherwise comfortable ambiance especially for the booths near the fireplace.

AWESOME place .!!! The vibe here is always amazing ..... from the drinks to the food to the energy ..... My staff and I always congregate here for our EOY celebration .... Erin , Jess and Serena are AWESOME !! ..... come here you won't be disappointed..... oops, did I forget to mention the burgers ...... come by you won't be disappointed.... Drink prices are i point ...jukebox is also great

The Beetle is a staple in the neighborhood. A big sports bar with great staff and even better food. The food's not your typical bar food either... their wings are their most famous I would say (my favorites: sweet chili or jerk), The Cuban sandwhich is also one of my go-to's, and you can't go wrong with one of their burgers. However, today being Sunday, my friend and I woke up later than usual but still craved breakfast food. We randomly stumbled across The Beetle's Brunch menu and was happy to learn they kept serving it until 3pm!!! Even though the menu is small, the portions were large and delicious. We both got the Breakfast Burrito - 10/10 would recommend getting this. They usually come with tutorials tater tots but they ran out...but their waffle fries are my favorite so I wasn't mad.

Super cool spot, family friendly but also a cool older vibe at night. Went on a Thursday night and it wasn't crowded at all but lots of people hanging around. The bartender was also the waitress which was dope, she was super kind. Nachos were BOMB! Steak and Fennel sandwich could've used more sauce but the steak itself was juicy so I finished it anyways & the fries were crunchy and long. Definitely medium pricing on food but drinks were affordable. Props to the chef, the meat was all cooked perfectly!!! Whole experience 8/10

GUESS WHERE IM AT?? The One and Only Chicago I'm so excited to be writing this cause this is my first time in Chicago and I will be trying so many different things so be prepared for the content Lol it literally took us 2 hours 1 Lyft ride and hella walking before we stumbled upon this dine in with outside patio vibes. This first restaurant we visited was The Beetle Bar and Grill in the heart of the Ukrainian Village! Me and my friend was superrrr hungry from the flight and walking around looking for food so we decided to get hella food and split it. We got fried pickles to start. THOSE FRIED PICKLES WERE SO GOOD! As in avid pickle eater those fried ones HIT! For our entree we got the pizza with 2 different toppings pepperoni and buffalo chicken pizza and a BBQ Hamburger! Side note: have y'all had celery on a pizza?All in all my first foodie experience in Chicago was great!!! Stay tuned! What are your favorite Chicago based restaurants!

The food brought me in, the music drove me out. I have a long history as a musician and appreciate all genres. From outside, what I heard playing almost stopped me, but I gave it a try. Loud, dissonance, jarring. Nobody stayed for more than one drink. While I planned on a meal, I left after an appetizer. After work, didn't want to hear the chaos. Went elsewhere for dinner...
